GENERAL

INFORMATION

Introduction

This manual contains instructions for changing interfaces and bar codes for customizing the scanner's operation. Since the QuickScan™ 1000 scanner contains software enhancements and characteristics that set it apart from other scanners, it is recommended that this guide be used as the sole source of programming labels and information (except for other QuickScan 1000 product-specific publications).

The organization of this manual is intended to support a variety of users while making it quick and easy to find the information you need. Look at the descriptions that follow to find where to go from here.

Understanding the Basics

If you do not regularly use bar code labels to configure (program) scanners, it will be very helpful to read the introductory portions of this manual prior to beginning your programming session. In addition to the information that follows, information of specific interest to you is titled:

— Integrating Peripherals with Host Systems — Changing Interfaces — Customizing Your Scanner Operation — Programming Overview — What is Programming Mode? — How to Program Using Bar codes — The Programming Session — Scanner Response When in Programming Mode — If You Make A Mistake — Where to Go From Here

Integrating Peripherals With Host Systems

It's important to understand that the scanner must contain software and hardware that supports a specific interface in order to use that interface. The following pages describe interface hardware and list software interface groups available on current models.

Optimally, you'll want details about how your scanner was configured at the factory before attempting to customize any settings. If you don't have that information, contact your dealer for factory configuration information.

After determining the changes and/or additions you desire, locate the programming labels and follow the related instructions in this manual to adjust the scanner. Once you've completed these steps, you can begin scanning.

QuickScan™ 1000

Programming Guide

Changing Interfaces

To change a scanner's interface…

HARDWARE

If necessary, replace the scanner's interface cable to match the new host terminal's connection requirements. To disconnect the cable from the scanner, insert a .050” hex driver or bent paper clip into the CABLE RELEASE hole, and press down to unlock the cable connector. Reference Figure 1.

NOTE We recommend that you disconnect power before plugging/ unplugging cables to avoid any possibility of equipment damage.

Figure 1. Disconnecting the Interface Cable

SOFTWARE

1. Verify that your scanner supports the desired interface1. The list below indicates interfaces available at the time of this writing. Your scanner comes equipped from the factory with the ability to connect and communicate with at least two major interface types, for example, Keyboard Wedge/RS-232 and Keyboard Wedge/Wand Emulation are two common pairings. Contact your nearest PSC service depot if you don't know your scanner's interface group, or need to have the scanner altered to change to another I/F group.

1 Contact your dealer if your desired interface is not listed. Interface group definitions

are subject to change without notice.

2. Turn to the appropriate page in this manual and enable the desired interface or interface sub-type by scanning its programming bar code. These interface/interface sub-type selection bar codes are located at the beginning of each of these sections of the manual: IBM, Wand Emulation, RS-232, Keyboard Wedge, and OCIA. This will enable the software for the new interface and disable the 'old' interface software. Once enabled, the new interface becomes the default interface that is active whenever power is applied to the scanner.

3. Scan a bar code to verify that the scanner communicates correctly with the host system. Some sample bar codes are provided on the last pages of this manual. If any changes to the scanner's factory settings are needed, use the instructions titled, Customizing Your Scanner Operation.

QuickScan™ 1000

Programming Guide

Customizing Your Scanner Operation

When enabling a new interface, it may be necessary to modify the original factory settings to match your specific host system's communication and symbology requirements. Check with your system administrator to identify your host system's specific interface requirements to ensure that they match the new interface you've selected. Also, the scanner's operational features, such as speaker volume, can be customized to match your unique requirements.

1. Use the labels in this manual to modify the standard configuration to match your specific interface requirements or user preference.

NOTE Ensure that your planned modifications are compatible with the current interface. For example, baud rate selections are only valid in the RS-232 interface. The scanner will sound an error tone (six rapid beeps) when scanning programming labels for features invalid to the current interface.

2. Enable any additional symbologies as required and exit Programming Mode.

3. Scan a regular bar code label and verify that the scanner and host communicate correctly.

4. You have completed the factory settings change procedure.

If you experience difficulties, have questions or require additional information, contact your local distributor using the listings located on the back cover of this guide.

R44-2018 5

GENERAL

INFORMATION

Programming Overview

This section describes how to set the scanner's programmable features. These features can be configured using the bar code labels contained in this manual or by using commands sent from the host. Refer to Appendix A, Additional Information, for host programming details. If you program the scanner using these bar codes, the scanner stores the changes until reprogrammed.

What Is Programming Mode?

To change the scanner's programmed settings, it is necessary to place the scanner in Programming Mode using the special SET label. This ensures that the scanner only recognizes the special programming labels contained in this programming guide.

How To Program Using Bar Codes

The following pages contain special bar code labels that are used to change or enable the scanner's programmable options. All programming sessions follow this order, unless otherwise instructed:

1. Scan the SET label at the top of the page. The scanner will emit a 'good read' beep, indicating it has read the label.

2. Scan the feature label(s) for the programmable options you wish to enable. With few exceptions1, the scanner will emit a triple beep each time you scan a valid programming label. (Note that not all features are available for all interfaces and that the scanner will sound an error tone when scanning programming labels for features invalid to the current interface.)

3. Scan the END label at the bottom of the page to complete the programming session and exit Programming Mode. The scanner will sound one 'good read' beep upon exiting Programming Mode.

4. It is strongly recommended that you Maintain a good record of all changes made to ensure that you know if the original factory settings have been changed.

1 Some features, such as Minimum Label Length or Label ID, require you to select the

length by scanning a series of single-digit bar codes. A single 'good read' beep is sounded when scanning these single digits in Programming Mode. Only the final required digit in the sequence will produce a triple beep when scanned, indicating a successfully programmed feature.

QuickScan™ 1000

Programming Guide

The Programming Session

It is possible to program multiple features during a single programming session (a programming session is defined as the period of time between scanning the “set” label and scanning the “end” label). However, it is recommended that sessions be limited to one feature, as it can be difficult to discover where an error has been made, should you make a mistake in the programming sequence. Additionally, it can be confusing to determine which features may or may not have been successfully set following such a session.

The scanner will not exit Programming Mode unless the END label is scanned. Disconnecting power during Programming Mode, before scanning the END label, will cause the scanner to forget any programming labels scanned during the current programming session and will cause the scanner to return to its previous settings.

Scanner Response When In Programming Mode

As discussed earlier, Programming Mode is entered by scanning a SET label. The green LED will flash continuously at 1Hz duty cycle while the scanner is in Programming Mode. As long as it is in Programming Mode, the scanner will not decode regular bar code labels and will only enable features supported by the currently active interface.

Scanning regular (non-programming) bar code labels — the scanner will

reject the label, sounding an error tone (six rapid beeps).

Scanning a valid programming label —

a. If the feature is supported by the active interface, the scanner will

sound three beeps.

b. If incorrect programming has been entered, the error tone will be

sounded (six rapid beeps). Additionally, when programming a feature requiring you to scan single digits to set a multi-digit number, such as Minimum Label Length or Label ID, scanning the END label before completing all input will result in an error tone and cause the scanner to exit Programming Mode. Under these circumstances, the current feature you were trying to set is thrown out; any previous labels scanned during the session will take effect.

R44-2018 7

GENERAL

INFORMATION

If You Make a Mistake...

If, during a programming session, you find that you are unsure of the scanner's settings or wish to re-set the scanner's configuration, use the Return to Factory Settings label on this page to return the scanner's configuration to the factory settings. Scanning this label will also reset any changes made during previous programming sessions.

Return to Factory Settings

Scan this label to return the scanner to the default settings configured at the factory for your scanner’s original interface specifications. This label is typically used to return the scanner to a “known” operating state when the present programming status is not known, faulty, or suspect.

CAUTION

Use this label with caution, since it will disable ALL features that may have been programmed since the scanner’s installation.

If you don't have a record of your site/system's original configuration, you may need to call your nearest PSC service depot for assistance to return the scanner to normal function. Please be prepared to provide information about the store/chain, location, POS system and other pertinent information about the scanner being repaired.

QuickScan™ 1000

Programming Guide

Where To Go From Here

Programming is easy and straightforward if you follow these steps:

1. If you are changing interfaces, first connect the scanner to the new host using the new interface cable. Scan the interface enable bar code label1 .

2. Scan any feature labels that are unique to the interface you are currently programming. These interface specific programming labels immediately follow each interface selection label.

3. Turn to the Symbology section if you are going to change any bar code symbologies or modify any symbology related features.

4. Turn to the General Features section of this guide if you wish to change or modify any of the scanner's other features.

Once the necessary changes have been made, and you have scanned the END label, you are ready to scan.

1 This step is not neccessary for QuickScan 1000 scanners, unless you require a

specific interface sub-type such as SNI or IBM sub-type 4682/92 Port E. Interface software is automatically selected when the QuickScan 1000 hardware connection (via a new interface cable) is made.

Handshaking

Review your system documentation to identify handshaking requirements, and use these labels to change the settings if required. The following brief descriptions explain each selection.

Hardware Control

CTS/RTS Flow Control — is hardware handshaking. The scanner activates the RTS (Ready to Send) line when it is ready to send data to the host. The scanner waits for an active Clear to Send (CTS) signal from the host before transmitting data. If hardware control is disabled, CTS/RTS communication will not take place. If the host deactivates the CTS line during data transmission, the host will receive additional characters for no more than 2msec1.

Software Control

XON/XOFF — this is software handshaking that allows the host to control data transmission. If the host sends an XOFF command to the scanner, the scanner will not send the bar code data until it receives an XON command from the host. If the host sends the XOFF command during data transmission, the host will receive additional characters for no more than 2msec1.

NOTE Hardware/software controls are mutually exclusive. Enable only one of these features at a time, as enabling multiple controls can produce unpredictable results.

Label Transmit Format Configuration Items

(RS-232 and Keyboard Wedge Interfaces Only)

If you need to send information in addition to label data, the scanner can be configured to transmit prefixes and/or suffixes as well as symbology specific identifier characters (Label I.D.).

Prefix & Suffix

As the examples below show, none, one or two symbology specific ASCII characters can be added to the beginning of label in addition to multiple prefix and suffix characters.

NOTE Using this feature requires a thorough understanding of your specific system requirements.

The options available using this feature are:

• symbology specific (0 - 2) characters + label data PP + label data

• non-symbology specific characters (1-2) as a prefix + label data

CpCp + label data

• label data + non-symbology specific characters (0-2) as a suffix

ORMAT CONFIG

Setting Symbology Specific Label Identifiers (Label I.D.)

Symbology-specific label identifiers comprise one or two ASCII characters that can precede or follow barcode label data as it is transmitted to the host. The host uses these characters as a means of distinguishing between symbologies.

Industry standards have been established for symbology-specific label identifiers, and are listed in the table below. Most scanners will have factory default identifiers preset to these standards.

Table 1. Industry Standard Label Identifiers (all are prefixes)

UPC-A ------------------------------ 'A' EAN-8 (5 Add-on)------------- 'FF' UPC-E ------------------------------ 'E' EAN-8 (8 Add-on)-------------- 'FF' EAN-8------------------------------ 'FF' EAN-13 (2 add-on)------------- 'F ' EAN-13----------------------------- 'F ' EAN-13 (5 Add-on)------------- ' F ' UPC-A (2 add-on) -------------- 'A' EAN-13 (8 Add-on)-------------- 'F' UPC-A (5 Add-on) -------------- 'A' Code 39----------------------------- '*' UPC-A (8 Add-on) --------------- 'A' Codabar---------------------------- '%' UPC-E (2 add-on) -------------- 'E' Interleaved.2 of 5 ----------------- 'i' UPC-E (5 Add-on) -------------- 'E' Code 93---------------------------- '&' UPC-E (8 Add-on) --------------- 'E' Code 128 --------------------------- '#' EAN-8 (2 add-on)-------------- 'FF' MSI/Plessey---------------------- '@'

To set symbology-specific label identifiers:

1. Look at the ASCII chart shown on the previous page and identify the ASCII character(s) and the corresponding Hex Code(s) for the ASCII characters you will use as identifiers. You will also need to determine whether the character(s) will need to be sent as a prefix or a suffix.

For example: You need to change the label identifier prefix for UPC-A to 'A1'.

2. Scan the SET label below.

3. Scan either the TRANSMIT LABEL I.D. AS PREFIX or TRANSMIT LABEL I.D. AS SUFFIX, depending on your requirements.

For our example, the 'transmit as prefix' label would be scanned.

LABEL TRANSMIT

FORMAT CONFIG

Setting Symbology Specific Label Identifiers (Label I.D.) Continued

4. Scan the label representing the symbology whose label identifier you wish to modify.

In our example, we would scan the 'UPC-A' symbology label.

5. Identify and scan the digits that correspond to the Hex Values.

The hex values from the ASCII chart that correspond to 'A1' from our example are as follows: 41

hex

= 'A', and

hex

= '1'. Thus, we would scan digit programming labels in this

order: 4, 1, 3, 1.

6. Scan the END label.

In our example, you have changed the default label identifier prefix for UPC-A from 'A' to 'A1'.

How to Set Single Character Label I.D.

If you only want a single character identifier, follow this modified procedure for setting label identifier.

1. Look at the ASCII chart shown on page 38 and identify the ASCII character and the corresponding Hex Code for the ASCII character you will use as the symbology specific identifier.

2. Scan the SET label.

3. Scan the label identifier label for the symbology identifier that you are going to change.

As an example, assume that you want to change the label identifier for EAN-8 from the default setting FF to the ASCII value 8. Scan the Set Symbology Specific Label Identifier barcode for EAN-8.

5. Identify the hex value that correspond to the ASCII character.

In this example '8' equals 38

hex

Simply follow the hex value for '8' (38

hex

) with the One Character Only label. This tells the scanner that '8' is a single digit label identifier.

6. Scan the barcodes values.

For the example in step five, scan 3, 8, One Character Only on the following two pages.

7. Scan the END label.

You have changed the default label identifier for EAN-8 from 'FF' to '8'.

Symbologies

Symbology selection (bar code type) determines which symbologies the scanner will decode. Once you have identified the symbologies you wish to enable, turn to the following pages, enable those symbologies and set the data format options (e.g. check digit, start/stop characters) required by your host system for each symbology type. You must enable the symbology format options settings that are compatible with your host system.

The factory settings for each interface were chosen to meet the standard industry requirements and in most cases you will not need to change the symbology format settings. If you are unsure of your system requirements, test the scanner using the factory settings before making any changes.

If you need to scan UPC or EAN labels that include Add-on codes, the selections on this page set the scanner's Add-on feature. There are three Add-on read modes available: optional, required and disabled.

Optional — the scanner will recognize UPC bar codes with or without

Add-ons.

NOTE Due to the structure of Add-on codes, selecting the Optional setting makes it impossible to ensure that the scanner will always read the Add-on portion of the label. PSC makes no guarantee, either written or implied, that scanners with optional Add-on decoding enabled will perform with the speed and accuracy required for any given application.

Required — the scanner will not recognize or decode any UPC/EAN

labels that do not contain an Add-on segment.

Code 39 Options

The Code 39 symbology has the following programmable features:

Check Digit — calculate the Check Digit to verify that the Check Digit

contained in the barcode label is correct. If you enable this feature, your barcodes must contain a Check Digit.

You may also choose to transmit or not transmit the Check Digit independent of whether the Check Digit is calculated by the scanner. If you choose to Transmit Check Digit, but not calculate, the scanner sends the Check Digit encoded in the barcode without verifying its accuracy. If you choose Don't Transmit Check Digit, the scanner will remove the Check Digit's contents before sending the barcode data to the host.

Start/Stop Characters — you can choose either Send or Don't Send

depending on your host's interface requirement.

Code 39 Full ASCII — enable or disable the ability to decode Code 39

Full ASCII labels.

Code 39 Minimum Label Length — set the minimum label length

required for Code 39 labels (not including the check character). This feature is provided to ignore small label segments, reducing the possibility that a portion of a good label is incorrectly seen as an entire label.

AIM Symbology ID Prefix

The Automatic Identification Manufacturers, Inc. of the United States (AIM USA) have standardized the reporting of data sources from barcode reading devices. Sending the AIM symbology prefix identifies the symbology to the host terminal, allowing it to specifically differentiate between UCC-128 (Code 128 with Function Character 1 in the first position) and standard Code 128 symbols. When this feature is disabled, the host cannot differentiate between these symbols.

Interleaved 2 of 5

The Interleaved 2 of 5 symbology has the following programmable features:

Check Digit — calculates the Check Digit to verify that the Check Digit

contained in the barcode label is correct. If you enable this feature, your barcodes must contain a Check Digit.

You may also choose to transmit or not transmit the Check Digit independent of whether the Check Digit is calculated by the scanner. The Transmit Check Digit will have no effect unless the Compute Check Digit feature is enabled. If you choose Don’t Compute Check Digit, the scanner sends the Check Digit encoded in the bar code without verifying its accuracy. If you choose both Compute Check Digit and Don't Transmit Check Digit, the scanner will remove the Check Digit's contents before sending

the bar code data to the host.

Label Format — provides the selection between fixed or variable length

labels. If your application has labels with specific fixed lengths, we recommend selecting fixed lengths to improve read rate and avoid short reads.

You can select any valid number of digits for reading specific length labels only. Read the following details for specific Interleaved 2 of 5 limits.

Interleaved 2 of 5 Label Lengths

Interleaved 2 of 5 Minimum Label Length — sets the minimum label

length required for I 2/5 labels (not including the check character). This feature is provided to ignore small label segments, reducing the possibility

that a portion of a good label is incorrectly seen as an entire label.

Variable Length — if you select variable length, the scanner will recognize

labels with an even number of digits between 04 and 50 digits1.

Fixed Length — if you select fixed length, there are three labels for program-

ming your scanner to read either one or two fixed lengths. The labels are:

• Set First Fixed Length — use this label to instruct the scanner that the next two programming labels you scan will define the first fixed label length. This setting can be any even number of digits between 04 and 50 digits1.

1 The scanner will decode up to 50 characters, but the actual length read will vary

depending upon bar code size and quality. The IBM POS interface is limited to 32 character labels.

Codabar Options

The Codabar symbology has the following programmable features:

Check Digit — calculates the Check Digit to verify the label's contents

have been read correctly. If you enable this feature, your bar codes must include a Check Digit. You may also choose to transmit or not transmit the Check Digit.

Start/Stop Characters — you can choose either Send or Don't Send

depending on your host's interface requirement.

Start/Stop Format — if you need to send the Start/Stop characters, there

are four standard format options that you can select from; ABCD/ TN*E, ABCD/ABCD, abcd/tn*e, or abcd/abcd. This setting must match your system requirements. If you select one of these options, it determines how the ASCII characters A, B, C, D that are used for Start/Stop characters, will be translated before being sent to the host.

Start/Stop Match — the requirement that the Start and Stop characters

must match (be identical) can be enabled or disabled.

Label Format — provides the selection between fixed or variable length

labels. If your application has labels with specific fixed length, we recommend selecting fixed lengths to improve read rate.

If you select variable length, the scanner will recognize labels with between 03 and 47 digits1 (not including the optional check digit).

Set First Fixed Length — if you select fixed length, use this feature to set a first fixed label length to a setting between 03 and 50 * digits.

Set Second Fixed Length — if you select fixed length, use this feature to set a second fixed label length to a setting between 03 and 50 digits1.

No Second Fixed Length — scan this label after setting the first fixed length to instruct the scanner to recognize only the label length chosen as the first label length.

Gap Check — allows the scanner to combine two label halves printed in

close proximity to each other that may have been printed at different times and perhaps different locations.

The following section contains the general features that are common to all interfaces. These features allow modification of the scanner's behavior to accomodate user preferences.

Good Read Beeper Settings

These labels provide options for the scanner's audible 'beep' signal.

Audible Signal — enables/disables the beep upon completion of a good read.

NOTE It is strongly recommended that this feature remain enabled, as the good read beep provides the best scanning status feedback to the user. Error tones are always enabled and cannot be disabled.

Power-up Beep — when enabled, beeps upon scanner power-up.

Beeper Volume — allows setting of the beeper to NORMAL or HIGH volume.

Good Read Beep Duration — can be adjusted to short (100msec), medium

(250msec), or long (500msec) durations.

When to Beep — may be programmed to announce a 'good read' upon

completion of one of the following events:

• Decode of a bar code label

• Transmission from the scanner to the host

• CTS activation at the host terminal (RS-232 models ONLY)

Read Verification

QuickScan™ 1000 programming has been improved to allow selection of read verification "minimum read" requirements by symbology type, as well as universally. This means that the scanner needn't waste valuable time verifying high-confidence symbologies, while offering the security of multiple read verification on less reliable codes.

NOTE The more times the scanner is required to read and compare the bar codes data, the longer it will take to complete a good read cycle.

Universal Read Verification

To set read requirements universally (read requirements will be in effect for all symbologies), scan one of the selections below for one, two, three or four reads required before a bar code's data can be transmitted to the host.

NOTE DO NOT scan SET or END bar codes when programming these features. Programming mode is automatically entered and exited when one of the four bar codes below are scanned.
